We Went Street Style–Spotting in London—These 7 Outfits Impressed Us

We're back! After what feels like a very drawn-out winter, we've kicked our warm-weather street style series back into gear, and 2023 is already off to a stellar start on the outfit front. With the buzzing streets of London on our literal doorstep, we set out to find out what the capital's most stylish dressers are wearing this May, and we have thoughts—good ones.

Our shoot was called off on account of rain, and when we did eventually venture out on a bright and airy Saturday, we didn't know what to expect. The skies may have been blue (at the start of the day at least), but there was still a discernible chill in the air. Ah, London—what are you like? Undeterred, we headed to the city's heart in the hopes of capturing the current mood of the streets and how people just like you are dressing this season.

After hours upon hours of scouting out the looks that grabbed us, some clear trends began to emerge. Firstly, heels are all but obsolete in London. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but it was surprising to see how few heels there were pounding the pavement, confirming that flats are where it's at right now.

As it's nearly the start of summer, you might assume that the city's fashionable dwellers would be sporting their finest dresses. While we spotted a handful of classic white dresses on our travels, we observed significantly more trouser and skirt looks than ever before. Although full skirts and loose-fit trousers are trending on Instagram, there's no doubt this is transcending into real-life outfits too.
